Do you want to ditch legal’s reputation as the “Department of No”? Find out how, on this installment of the podcast. Gartner legal advisor Daniel Hebda and host Eliza Krigman discuss three ways GC can help lawyers offer better guidance for placing smart bets. One tactic: Hold structured conversations with business partners about the risk and reward of a given initiative. The resulting insight liberates lawyers to make decisions based on the facts, rather than fear or biases.

New episodes go live the last Thursday of each month.
